Previous thread on going away without DSC has made me think. DP and I are wondering what to do about our honeymoon. We've not set a date yet for our wedding because his dad is currently having chemo and radiotherapy and so we want to see how he responds to treatment first. However, when we do set a date, we're wondering what to do about honeymoon. DSS's mum thinks it unfair of us to go away without him but I feel like it's our one and only chance where we can justifiably go without him. A friend of mine married someone with kids and they took them away for their honeymoon, but their situation was different as their Dad has unfortunately passed away and so they didn't have the option of staying with their Dad.
Are we being unreasonable to want to go away without him? We don't have a lot of money. We're keeping our wedding as cheap / simple as possible - given the situation we'd be over the moon simply if DP's Dad can be there, we're not bothered about much else other than marrying each other so it's not like we're blowing our budget on the day. We try to take DSS on a UK caravan holiday once a year and he's never been away with his Mum as she too has very little money spare. We're hoping if we save enough we can go away just us two and still afford to take DSS away another time so he's not missing out. What does everyone here think?
